Do any of you use imageboards?

Question

I personally use a few:* Wired-7: https://wired-7.org/* Lambdaplus: http://lambdaplusjs35padjaiz4jw2fugdoeutse262phqr72uf634s2wdbqd.onion* Solchan: https://solchan.org/You can find more imageboards on allchans.org.It's nostalgic to me, since I got into programming from /i/ boards and being a skid lol.

NSFW! Many of the links in this post and in the comments host porn, and in some cases, gore. Be careful browsing if at work.Ask me how I know.

I used to use them. I really loved the fact that you can ask questions really freely and get quite raw answers (I don't like the so called "reddit style").Then I stopped browsing them since it felt like doomscrolling even though these platforms were not designed to encourage that.

I like imageboards. I think it's partly nostalgia for me too. They remind me of the tolerance and freedom that was present on the early internet. Everything in contrast feels so heavily moderated or censored. Forums can be good too, but it's so hard to find good forums these days, and they tend to have quite a bit of moderation compared to imageboards so it's not the same.In my opinion imageboards are dying. They used to be much better when they were more popular. I've also noticed that they're increasingly getting infested with spam and scams these days too. The golden age of imageboards was definitely ~15 years ago. Their appeal has largely been displaced by social media and sites like Reddit.

I&rsquo;m visiting a local board from time to time, won&rsquo;t share the name. It has a pretty strong tech and ai boards. Speech is raw but mostly helpful. It also has few non-tech boards that are (occasionally) comfy. Reddit doesn&rsquo;t cut it and feels like mindless reposts of reblogs and toy science.Never seen an english-speaking board that wasn&rsquo;t political or just cringe-y garbage, tbh. Maybe it&rsquo;s a cultural thing amplified by usual IB format. All other boards I visit are boorus.

I still visit lainchan sometimes but always close the tab disappointed by the lack of quality or even funny discussions.I really wish there was an imageboard with the activity level of 4chan and maturity (or moderation) of HN.

Nope. I never fell for 4-chan. For me it was too cynical and chaotic.
